Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A method, said method comprising: in response to receiving a click on a first link included in a parent webpage being displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) on which a parent tab associated with the parent webpage is displayed, a processor of a computer system: (i) creating, on the GUI, a new tab corresponding to the first link that was clicked, (ii) displaying the newtab on the GUI, (iii) replacing the parent webpage by a new webpage associated with the first link resulting in the parent webpage no longer being displayed, and (iv) generating and saving a screenshot of the parent webpage to a tooltip attribute of the new tab, said generating and saving the screenshot comprising marking the first link for being highlighted during subsequent display of the saved screenshot; after said generating and saving the screenshot, said processor detecting a cursor of a pointing device hovering above the new tab; in response to said detecting the cursor hovering above the new tab, said processor retrieving the screenshot from the tooltip attribute and persistently displaying, on the GUI, the retrieved screenshot with the first link being highlighted; and during said displaying the screenshot and with said hovering above the new tab no longer occurring, said processor receiving a click on the screenshot and in response, said processor reopening the parent webpage in the GUI.
When a user clicks a link in a parent webpage displayed in a browser tab, a computer system immediately performs several actions. It creates and displays a new tab for the clicked link. The original parent webpage is then replaced by the new webpage, and a screenshot of the *parent webpage* is generated. This screenshot is saved to a tooltip associated with the *new tab*, and importantly, the specific link that was clicked is marked to appear highlighted within this saved screenshot. If the user then hovers their mouse cursor over this new tab, the system retrieves and persistently displays the saved screenshot of the parent webpage, with the original clicked link clearly highlighted. If, while this screenshot is displayed (even if the mouse is no longer hovering), the user clicks on the displayed screenshot, the computer system will reopen the original parent webpage in the browser.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said marking the first link comprises marking the first link for being circled by a slender frame during subsequent display of the saved screenshot.
When a user clicks a link in a parent webpage displayed in a browser tab, a computer system immediately performs several actions. It creates and displays a new tab for the clicked link. The original parent webpage is then replaced by the new webpage, and a screenshot of the *parent webpage* is generated. This screenshot is saved to a tooltip associated with the *new tab*, and importantly, the specific link that was clicked is marked to be **circled by a slender frame** within this saved screenshot. If the user then hovers their mouse cursor over this new tab, the system retrieves and persistently displays the saved screenshot of the parent webpage, with the original clicked link clearly **circled by a slender frame**. If, while this screenshot is displayed (even if the mouse is no longer hovering), the user clicks on the displayed screenshot, the computer system will reopen the original parent webpage in the browser.
